career fields do these suggest to you?” And in the case of your
transferable skills, “What job-title or jobs do these skills suggest to
you?” If possible, you or they must combine two or three of your
knowledges (fields) into one specialty: that’s what can make you
unique, with very little competition from others.
Here is how to go about doing that: let us say your three favorite
knowledges are gardening and carpentry and a limited knowledge of
psychiatry. What you want to do is use all three expertises, not just
one of them—if you possibly can. So, put those three favorite
knowledges on a series of overlapping circles, as seen above. Now, to
figure out how to combine these three, imagine that each circle is a
person; that is, in this case, Psychiatrist, Carpenter, and Gardener.
You ask yourself which person took the longest to get trained in their
specialty. The answer, here, is the psychiatrist. The reason you ask
